Talk about your timing. I'm getting ready to redesign an access application that has been running at our company for several years. With all the changes in the way we do things that have been incorporated into this application, I've been struggling trying to find a way to keep track of notes, e-mails, documents, etc... for this project, after reading this thread and going through a few short tutorials in OneNote, I think I found my tool. Now, has anyone used one of those pen computers that will digitally store handwritten notes and require special dotted paper? The one from Livescribe (livescribe.com) allows you to print your own paper so you don't have to buy their special paper. There's also the Fly Fusion and I believe Logitech makes one. Pros and cons anyone?

One of the concepts of development is to store things together. Whether related functions, code that goes in a class, all the stuff in an MDB, a project for .Net, we are accustomed to placing all the "stuff" for a project in a folder on the disk for that project. I want to use OneNote to document projects. It really is pretty nice for that because you can insert so many different things into OneNote pages. However I want to then be able to locate all of that documentation directly in the directory that the rest of the project files are in. If I want to give the project to someone, I should not have to remember to go find the OneNote stuff and put that stuff in the package. Is that too much to ask? John W.
